The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recently called for comments on its list of select agents and toxins.
The comments, due by August 20, are part of a biennial review that is currently being conducted by HHS as part of the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002.
The list is intended to include all toxins and agents that could pose a threat to public health and safety based on the effect of exposure, contagiousness, the method of acquisition, immunization effectiveness, weaponization potential and the threat it possesses to vulnerable portions of the population, such as children.
The list currently includes, among its most dangerous, the Ebola virus, anthrax, ricin, smallpox, Lassa fever and Marburg virus.
HHS is looking for more than whether or not someone feels a compound should, or should not, be included. The department also wishes to know whether or not it should stratify the list into tiers based on a substance's relative threat to the population as a weapon of bioterror and whether or not those in the top tier should be further broken down according to type of use or any other factors.
The biennial review process will also include consultation with the Intergovernmental Select Agents and Toxins Technical Advisory Committee, which is comprised of employees from USDA, DHS, Dod, FDA and the National Institutes of Health.

VoIP systems are much cheaper than traditional phone service as installation and maintenance fees are very cheap, and frequently no cost altogether.
(PRWEB) January 24, 2013
Business First recently announced that the officials at AT&T Kentucky are negotiating with Kentucky state legislators to pass a bill that will put an end to the current requirement that telecommunication companies must offer wire or wireline phone services. In so doing, the AT&T Kentucky officials hope to provide more cost efficient wireless or VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) service to all customers.
VoIP is an Internet phone technology that transfers voice data over the Internet instead of the traditional means of copper-wire lines. VoIP systems provide a much more affordable service, as it is cheaper to install and maintain than traditional phone lines.
Those in opposition of the phasing out of traditional phone lines fear that remote areas will not receive Internet access, while others worry that the "less technologically adept" will not understand how to use this kind of phone service.
Meanwhile, those in favor of the transition to all wireless phone systems argue that just as with the analog to digital television progression, regardless of the user's region or understanding of technology, no one will get left behind.
Many states have already changed their policies in ways that make it easier for local telecoms to offer VoIP service primarily. But the news in Kentucky could mean bigger changes in more parts of the country in terms of national telecom policy. Based on this announcement, MyVoIPProvider.com has weighed in on what this and similar policy changes will mean for all telephone customers, and why there has never been a better time to switch to VoIP.
Lower Cost of Service for Customers
VoIP systems are much cheaper than traditional phone service as installation and maintenance fees are very cheap, and frequently no cost altogether.
VoIP users also avoid the hefty charges for long distance and international calls often seen with a traditional phone service. VoIP providers offer free and unlimited nationwide calling, free VoIP to VoIP calling, and low international calling rates. And monthly costs are very low with residential VoIP, as low as $5/month for a regular landline phone.
Additionally, as with the theory of supply and demand, if VoIP systems steadily increase across the market, the price of service will likely decrease as direct result.
Increased Reliability
While VoIP systems already offer reputable service, the more VoIP providers there are on the map, the stronger the VoIP infrastructure will be. As wireless phone systems expand, even those living in rural or mountainous areas will have better access to reliable Internet phone service.
VoIP systems also offer more reliable service in the event of strong winds or storms. It's possible for trees or wind to knock down traditional phone services causing users to lose phone power during a storm, but VoIP systems are not susceptible to this loss. Even if the power goes out, VoIP systems can still run on backup power sources.
VoIP is Easy for Everyone to Use
VoIP works just like any landline phone that a customer may be accustomed to. All of the technology that makes VoIP different from traditional landline phones is on the provider side of the service, not the customer side. When customers get VoIP service, all they need to do is choose a plan from the provider, and then plug in the phone.
In fact, in many ways VoIP is easier to use than traditional phone service. With traditional phone companies, it can be very complicated and expensive to have a new telephone line installed, and depending on how much work needs to be done, it can be very time consuming as well.
It is easy to install a VoIP line. With any top VoIP provider, customers simply set up their Internet service, choose a VoIP plan, and then plug in the phone. No special installation or service necessary.

If you don't have kids it might be hard to understand the love and admiration you feel for your children. When I photograph children I like to do it in an environment that they feel comfortable in so that you can capture the cliché "kids being kids". This image I photographed in our "Play Room" (as my wife calls it), its more of a search and destroy room for my son who we call "Wreck-it-Ralph". After capturing some boring posed portraits I just let my little guys be their goofy selves. I wonder whom they could have gotten these goofy tendencies from?

A few weeks ago, I began a new meditation series, hosted by Oprah and Deepak. In this series, a recent meditation focused on bliss, which included the Centering Thought, "Joy is my highest purpose." As I allowed myself to sit still and be, with the mantra, "Sat Chit Ananda" (Existence, consciousness, bliss), I contemplated how we live out our purpose in God's kingdom.
We are given life by the Spirit, with freedom found and reflected in the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23a)
But, where does bliss fit in? Bliss isn't mentioned. Happiness isn't mentioned.
What is bliss? I believe bliss, a state of perfect happiness, is best experienced when we are bearing the fruit of love, joy and peace.
The Bible doesn't say much about happiness, with only a handful of references; the most meaningful of which are found in Ecclesiastes, and the bottom line there is that happiness is meaningless. God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but there will be times that are hard, and happiness won't be easily found. Pursuit of happiness is as useful as chasing after the wind. (Ecclesiastes 2:24-26)
Frankly, happiness shouldn't be the goal.
The NIV translation includes only 26 references to "happy" and "happiness" combined, but there are 686 references to "love," 242 references to "joy" and 249 references to "peace."
In a 52-week study (which is taking me ~3 times as long) called The Joshua Code, the first three fruit of the Spirit are described as "a countenance that is obvious," and I totally get that. I am as transparent as they come, completely lacking in guile. Although my facial expressions might not always be correctly interpreted, no one misreads me when I'm feeling well-centered in love, joy and peace. At those times, I am closest to bliss, and it shows.
I'm embracing the thought that in each moment of our lives we enjoy the opportunity to be intentional about our attitude. Happiness might be hard to self-induce, but we can certainly bring ourselves into a spiritual place where we feel peace and love, and joy becomes a likely companion.
If lost in other emotions, it's worth noting, the best way to find this space is to turn away from judgment. In Romans, Paul advises us to stop passing judgment, for the kingdom of God is a matter of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval. (Romans 14:13,17-18)
I've been practicing this discipline while I'm in traffic, while waiting in line, while waiting for a webpage to load, while waiting for the children to take action, etc. It's amazing that by simply reminding myself, internally whispering and visualizing and feeling "love, joy, peace", I'm calmer, I'm less aggravated by inconveniences, and I'm happier.
Yes, I am happier.
Have you experienced happiness as a result of love, joy and peace?
LORD, bless us with good fruit, helping us bear love, joy and peace, in all circumstances. Amen.
Most of us are familiar with the Parable of the Sower, but what about the Parable of the Weeds, presented right after, in Matthew's Gospel?
In case it's been a while: An enemy (the enemy) sows weeds among the wheat, which entangle roots as they grow, so the weeds can't be removed without disrupting the wheat. "Let both grow together until the harvest." Then, they can be separated. The wheat will be gathered and the weeds bundled and burned.
As we listened to the Gospel reading, I was struck by the fundamental nature of live-and-let-live, and Rodney King's ageless question, "Can't we all just get along?" The message of the parable is clearly not "get in there and eliminate those weeds, at all costs!" Rather, it's a message of coexistence.
It's important to note, the wheat is not in a position of judgment; the harvester is the judge. The harvester, "the Son of Man…will sit on his glorious thrown…and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats." (Matthew 25:31-32)
As if this wasn't enough to get me thinking, considering a world where we do our best to get along with others, the Sermon gave me even more to contemplate.
Deacon Jan asked us each to look within, and consider the wheat and weeds that grow in each of us. She encouraged us to tend to the soil of our hearts, minds and souls, so that we might well-receive the word, and by nurturing and nourishing that which is good, choke out that which isn't.
This year, Mr. H and I've torn out much of our landscaping, digging up flower beds that were so overgrown with Bermuda Grass, Nutsedge and Horsetail that the roots couldn't be separated from the flower bulbs we'd planted years ago. Neglected, as we focused on raising three young grandchildren, we lost the battle and the invading weeds dominated the terrain. In tearing out, we did our best to salvage the bulbs, hoping for future restoration. Now, the bulbs are in containers: Daylilies here, Easter Lilies there, Daffodils and Gladiolas in another. Those that were past their bloom, we easily separated from the weeds. But, I didn't want to sacrifice the Daylilies, which were just preparing to bloom, so, they remain entangled, flowering in their new pots, thick with Nutsedge. In due time, we'll tend to these bulbs, too.
It must be a lifelong discipline to pay attention to what is growing within us; to focus on that which is good, and to turn away from that which harms. If we've been neglecting this, then know that even greater effort will be required, in order to restore.
And, in the Kingdom, as we consider others weed, and ourselves wheat, remember, judging and condemning others (or even ourselves when we note our own shortcomings) is not the answer. Love, tenderness, faithfulness are the tools by which we must tend to ourselves and others.
Let's all do our best to get along.
LORD, help us grow in wisdom, learning to trust your judgment, and learning to tend to the gardens of our hearts, minds and souls. Amen.
Our 4 year old resident granddaughter is going through an interesting phase: she greets us (after any significant period of absence, such as a night's sleep or a workday), with an enthusiastic and joyful, "You're alive!" As though this were remarkable.
In a way, it sort of sets the bar low. I have a pulse. I showed up. I smiled, and she is overjoyed. Maybe it helps that we love her and she loves us back.
As we experience our 4th summer in this new life as parents of grandchildren, I'm learning to embrace "good enough". I'm setting priorities and balancing attention, juggling activities and striving to keep everything upright, but it's not possible. So, I'm also learning to accept the inevitable failures and shortfalls. Everything seems harder. And yet, we're managing to muddle through.
This week, our perky granddaughter and I both have been under the weather. She has remained perky, while I've had a harder go of it. I have had to take it easy, something that is foreign to me. I'm glad I was already fully into (at least 7~10 days!) my new practice of meditation: including a 10 minute rest period in my morning routine sets the tone for the day.
On Thursday, our granddaughter woke early, and I missed this respite. Today, both girls woke early, and instead of skipping meditation, I invited them to join me. It was nowhere near as restful, but it was good enough (and better than nothing).
A few weeks ago, I posted about a flower bed that was overgrown with Elephant Ears. Too much of a good thing had overtaken another good thing, my jasmine. Finally, last weekend, as I fought off the onset of illness, I cleared out the Elephant Ears. Not perfect (they'll inevitably return), but … good enough.
Sometimes I consider the compromises we make, and worry about the trade-offs, and fret about the gap between reality and "ideal", and I remind myself that, by profession, Paul was a tentmaker. By this trade, he was able to fund mission trips and maintain his livelihood. But, no one talks about how great his tents were. I assume, however, they were good enough.
Because I haven't been feeling well, I'm tempted to skip posting this week, but … I'm not going to do that. It's important to show up, to remain faithful. If I trust in the Spirit to guide me, then I can hope that what I share will be good enough.
At the end of the day, at the end of my days, how do I want to be remembered? I pray, with enough practice, I might live (and be remembered) by the fruit of the Spirit, bearing love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Bathtub rings, dirty laundry, unpaid bills, unanswered mail…these don't define me. If I can bear good fruit, that should be good enough.
How about you?
LORD, grant us a daily dose of the fruit of your Spirit, that we might live in you, according to your will and your ways. Amen.
The theme for this summer seems to be Mindfulness. I am getting hit at every turn on a topic with which I'm not particularly familiar. As I give more attention to this concept (i.e. being more mindful), I'm increasingly aware of references to, and directives toward, mindfulness. The more mindful I am, the more mindful I become.
Mindfulness is awareness – a mental state achieved by focus, presence, and a calm acceptance of self and situation.
In Sunday's 1st reading (Genesis), Abraham sent a servant to find a wife for his son, Isaac. The servant was especially mindful (praying, watching, acting and recognizing) with a positive outcome for Isaac (Rebekah).
The Epistle, from Paul's letter to the Romans, about our "wretched" human nature as we battle/succumb to temptations, despite our best intentions, advises faithfulness as a path to mindfulness (in our eternal battle against sinful inclinations).
In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus explains the revelation of truth as a gift to those who approach with fresh eyes, eager to understand. If we presume to know, we will never know. Jesus says, "Learn from me…you will find rest for your souls."
In each passage, there's a message of mindfulness.
Later in the day, as we enjoyed an afternoon swim, I became mindful of the weather. A storm slowly formed, threatening to disrupt our fun. I watched the sky and I watched radar. We could have packed up and headed inside, but it was enough to be mindful, so we continued to enjoy our time outside. The storm passed without a single thunderclap.
Mindfulness takes practice. I've recently added meditation to my morning routine, using an app that is geared toward beginners, which is perfect for me. The 1st week's focus was on Mindfulness (of course!).
I am learning to sit still for 10 minutes, allowing myself to just be. For those of us who seem to be hard-wired as Marthas, always aware of, and pressured by, our to-do lists, it is hard to embrace the obedience of being, especially of being still. Yet, from Psalm 46:10, God says, "Be still, and know…." I am embracing this as Mindfulness.
Mindfulness is not the same as thinking and analyzing, although, it does involve a good deal of consideration. Mindfulness turns busyness into purposefulness. It's okay to make a to-do list, but…is everything on the list of equal importance? By being mindful, I can prioritize, and include "fun" on the list of things to do.
Fun, as a form of recreation, is the act of renewal that is vital to our spirit. Some of us (*ahem*) must list recreational activities on our to-do list, in order to ensure we don't neglect this aspect of our lives. Whether alone or in community, we must be mindful of our need for restoration.
Ultimately, practicing mindfulness is an effort to know God. As a friend pointed out, "Prayer is where you speak to God, Meditation is where you allow God to speak to you". With mindfulness, I can listen, hear, understand and respond accordingly.
LORD, help us be mindful of you, so that we might better know you. Amen.
On this day, July 4th, as we celebrate our independence, I'm giving consideration to the significance and complexity of freedom. What does it mean to be free? And, what are we to do with our freedom?
Freedom is a funny thing. Too much of it, or not enough, can create chaos and/or discord.
I recently installed an Outlook plug-in that required me to close Outlook (restriction!). Throughout the installation, I had to confirm several times that I did, indeed, want to continue with the installation (intentional!).
I feel that way about life sometimes. Sure, I have freedom, but there are restrictions and requirements. Freedom requires balance. Freedom requires intent.
I am in the process of changing habits, in order to find necessary balance. I've given up a great deal of independence, in accepting God's mission for us, in raising three grandchildren. Now, I find it's
necessary vital to be intentional, to be determined and to recognize and honor the need for some "me" time. Sometimes that means dropping balls, and sometimes that means picking up balls…the balls that I choose.
The first Biblical reference to freedom was the blessing of Adam in the Garden of Eden, as God commanded him, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die." (Genesis 2:16b-17). However, Adam and Eve soon succumbed to temptation, eating the forbidden fruit, and ultimately losing their freedom, thereby cursing all generations.
Fortunately, mankind is blessed with a new freedom, offered to all believers. Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:31b-32)
But, freedom requires commitment and discipline, in the study and application of God's truth, under the control of righteousness. (Psalm 119:45, Romans 6:18-20)
Outside of our sunroom, Elephant Ears have taken over the flower bed, choking out delightful Jasmine and Moon Flowers, preventing their growth and blossoms. It will take effort and determination to dig up the bulbs and roots, to thin the crowd, to allow for diversity and balance. I love the Elephant Ears, but they've become too much of a good thing.
In order to write these words, I had to persist, overcoming repeated interruptions. Finding time to read devotionals, meditate (new discipline), study and consider life applications is a challenge, but I'm convinced it's what I need to do, in order to be free (balanced). Sharing my thoughts here is my response to God's call. It might seem small, but the effort is huge. I cling faithfully to my belief that if it's God's will, and I allow Him to work through me, then it will happen.
Boom! Done.
Happy Independence Day!
LORD, thank you for your faithfulness, and the blessing of your mercy and grace. May these words and meditation be pleasing to you. Amen.
Recently, my church hosted a Vacation Bible Adventure (bigger and better than mere "VBS"). Adults and children gathered together for a series of four evenings, to worship, celebrate and learn about our role in the vast "jungle" of God's creation.
I took this opportunity to retreat.
If you know me, you can understand and appreciate my need to withdraw to a quiet place for prayer, meditation, study, etc. Prior to taking custody of three grandchildren, I was an enthusiastic volunteer, glad for the opportunity to participate in the adventures. Now, three years into this mission, I'm still striving to stay steady on my feet.
I joked with friends about my opportunity to enjoy "Camp Deacon's Office", where I could
hide step away from the normal busyness of life and find respite in solitude, graciously welcomed into a dear friend's space (while she was knee-deep in children and adventure). I'd like to tell a lofty tale of hours devoted to prayer and meditation. The truth is far less noble, and yet, I offer it as an example of what can be accomplished with intention and determination.
On the first evening, I worked, catching up on email, and finding peace in knowing work was somewhat under control. And, I meditated for ~3 minutes.
On the second evening, I spent only a brief interval working, then I began a book-based retreat, Your Living Compass. I relaxed. I reclined. I crocheted a bit. I visited with friends. And, I did some recreational writing, which is always a source of joy.
On the 3rd (and final) evening of my self-imposed retreat, I read, walked the grounds, and did whatever felt right at the moment, including meditation and prayer, and preparation for future, daily retreats.
On the 4th evening, families came together for a final celebration of the children's adventures. Music, art projects, and ultimately bread broken, as we enjoyed our lives together in a Christian Community. All wonderful, surely, but, for myself, I treasure the moments spent in Camp Deacon's Office.
As I drew away from everyday demands, I was able to contemplate my role in God's kingdom. I've been reading and studying about the Benedictine Rule of Life (Chittister) and Experiencing God. Like tilling the soil in preparation for the sower, I've been (albeit unwittingly, perhaps) preparing myself for whatever is coming. This week, I began a new discipline of daily reflections, seeking wellness of mind, heart, spirit and strength, reflected in thought, word and deed. Now, that's lofty, indeed.
I keep reminding myself that even in the thickest, heaviest, most intense moments of his ministry, Jesus found time for prayer. We are called to prayer. We are called to be in relationship with God, and we can't do that if we're always busy with other demands. We have to be intentional in what we do, to avoid sacrificing the thing that isn't tugging on our shirttail, or shouting at us from the other end of the house, or creating chaos. The thing that isn't forcing our attention is the thing that needs it the most: our own well-being.
I intend to continue this practice of stolen moments, retreating from the demands and seeking God. I boldly share this with you here, in hopes that you'll join me, in your own private retreat. Let's do this!
LORD, help quiet the storm and let us seek the sound of your voice. Help us be still. Help us find you, trusting that you have never lost sight of us. Amen.
I posted this on Facebook a few weeks ago:
I don't suppose he will be overly missed. I pay more attention than many, and I am not certain who he was.
I heard a homeless man died last weekend (near my office). I asked about it, from the only source who will have information to share…another "homeless" person, working that intersection.
"John," she said. She said everyone thought it must be him, because they haven't seen him in a while. He was known to drink a bit (a lot). Apparently, he'd gone downtown, gotten drunk, got in a fight which resulted in a head injury, got staples and released from ER, made his way back north, to his home (the campsite near the intersection), or maybe directly to the intersection, where he went to sleep (passed out?) under the bridge and died.
"What's your name?" I asked, as the light turned green.
Elisha, I wish you well. It's a hard life.
They aren't really homeless, or without friends, but they exist beyond the fringe. And, when they die, they disappear without much notice.
We see them on the corner, working. Like it or not, they are part of our society. Let's notice. Maybe offer food (something soft, since many have dental issues) … (or socks or a bottle of water) and a kind word.
I never met John, but I probably saw him. Maybe he was working on a day when I squeaked through under a yellow light. Or on the phone, or distracted, or….
It doesn't take much effort to roll down a window and have a 30 second conversation, especially if you are already stuck at the light. It might even help you start your day with a better perspective.
This FB post was effectively my first "blog post" in almost a year, reminding me of the process: contemplation, urge to share, freedom in writing, concern for public opinion, and ultimately, confidence that if it's God's will, it will be blessed.
Sunday's readings included God's revelation of plans for Abraham and Sarah, that they would conceive and bear a child in their old age, and of Sarah's response (laughter) and her anticipation that others would laugh with her. (Genesis) And, from the New Testament, we heard Jesus' instructions to his disciples, sending them out, like sheep into the midst of wolves, to share the good news of his coming, to perform miracles of healing, raising from the dead, cleansing lepers and casting out demons. And, we heard of the risks (betrayal, hatred, flogging, persecution, death). (Matthew)
Although we're not told of their reactions, I can imagine the range of emotions that must have followed these instructions. I can relate, even though my challenges (and risks) are significantly less than theirs.
I am striving to be more intentional, raising my own awareness of God at work in the world around me, listening carefully for instructions, trusting God. It's what we're each called to do. It's our lifelong mission.
LORD, help us hear your voice. Help us know your instructions. Give us grace, to overcome our emotions, so we can carry forth with courage and strength. Amen.

|Posted by: Zenon Dec 3 2008, 01:19 AM
| Emily Osment will be starring in a new made for tv movie called Dadnapped. She plays Melissa Morris, a girl who misses her dad who is a famous author. When her dad gets kidnapped, she gets up to all kinds of trouble trying to find him. Apparently this movie is out in February 2009 in the U.S.
Here's a link to the promo for the movie
It also stars other disney stars such as Jason Earles, David Henrie and Moises Arias.

Phil Lewis from the Suite life is in it also.

Researchers should seek ethical approval when the research they are proposing to conduct is with or about people. Research may yield and analyse information that people provide directly; that has been collected about them, or relates to their tissue.
The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) is the peak funding body for medial and health research in Australia and promotes the development and maintenance of public and individual health care and research standards.
The National Health and Medical Research Council guidelines outline a wide range of ways in which people might be involved in research:
Even when research does not directly involve humans or information on humans, the research might have a foreseeable impact on the lives of others and/or may raise ethical questions for researchers and for those ethically reviewing research. In these circumstances ethical approval might be required.
The UnitingCare Queensland Human Research Ethics Committee expects research within the organisation to:
Low risk and higher risk research
Research is defined as 'low risk' by the NHMRC "where the only foreseeable risk is one of discomfort" (Section 2.1.6, p.18). "(W)here the risk, even if unlikely, is more than inconvenience, the research is not negligible risk" (Section 2.1.7, p.18). In essence if the level of risk is assessed as low and the research does not relate to a number of population groups or interventions identified in 5.1.6, the organisation operating under NHMRC guidelines may set up alternate mechanisms to approve research using its staff/clients.
In UnitingCare Queensland, all research involving people must be referred to the UnitingCare Queensland Human Research Ethics Committee. Research that is classified as low risk can be dealt with through expedited review by the Chair of the Ethics Committee in consultation with members. All research that is classified as of higher risk is referred to a meeting of the UnitingCare Queensland Human Research Ethics Committee.

A Missouri congressman has sparked outrage after a painting he approved depicting police officers as animals was placed on display in the U.S. Capitol building.
The painting, by high school senior David Pulphus, shows the unrest in Ferguson, Mo. after the 2014 death of Michael Brown. The piece won Rep. Lacy Clay, D-Mo.s annual Congressional Art competition in May, and so was selected to be displayed at the Capitol complex.
The piece depicts two police officers, whose heads are replaced by animal heads one of which appears to be a pig — aiming guns at protesters who are carrying signs saying History and Racism Kills. In the background is a crucified black man in a graduation cap holding the scales of justice.
Clay praised the piece in a press release in May, saying it portrays a colorful landscape of symbolic characters representing social injustice, the tragic events in Ferguson, Missouri and the lingering elements of inequality in modern American society.
The Independent Journal Review, which first reported the development, reports that the controversial piece now hangs in a tunnel between the U.S. Capitol building and the Longworth House Office Building.
DC police expressed outrage at the image, calling it offensive and disgusting.
During a time in our society when tensions are so high that someone can be offended by a single word, this painting does nothing but attack law enforcement to its core, Andy Maybo, president of The Fraternal Order of Police District of Columbia Lodge #1 , told The Daily Caller. The fact that a member of Congress would advocate and praise such a painting is reprehensible.
Congressional Republicans also expressed dismay at the decision to display the painting in the Capitol.
It is disheartening to see this depiction of law enforcement hanging in the hallway of our nation's Capitol where officers work everyday to protect our safety and freedoms, Rep. Dave Reichert, R-Wash., told The Independent Journal Review. Unfortunately, many people of influence have taken part in promoting offensive and inaccurate caricatures of the very people who do the most to protect our families.
Calls to the Clays offices by FoxNews.com were not immediately returned.

Exclusive Shore Event: Quebec City | Scenic Isle d'Orleans, Wine Tasting and Festive Lunch
Embark on a tour richly satisfying in both the history and culinary aspects of the Isles d'Orleans, known as the "Garden of Quebec".
The island is home to many, mostly family owned farms, and is famous for its local products and wineries. We will travel along a scenic route offering magnificent views of the mighty St. Lawrence River and the Laurentian mountains. We will also drive through ancestral villages that have been beautifully preserved. Our first stop will be at Cassis Monna & Filles, a family that has mastered the art of transforming black currants - harvested on Isle d'Orleans - into products of the highest quality, including an award-winning Crme de Cassis. The black currant, also known by Quebecers as "gadelle noire", is a remarkably fragrant, purplish-black berry. The first European settlers brought this delectable treasure with them when they came to the Americas. At the time, the fruit was already widely appreciated for its medicinal qualities. Taste, smell, and learn all about this famous berry.
We continue our travel back in time at the Manoir Mauvide-Genest, a gem in Quebec's rich heritage. It remains one of the rare examples of a seigneurial residence.
By now, we will have worked up an appetite for the fine taste of locally produced foods and we will stop for lunch. Discover Le Moulin de St-Laurent, a regional fine cuisine restaurant using local products that is housed in an old flour mill which dates back to 1720.
Travelling on, with more great views of the countryside, we will visit Vignoble Isle de Bacchus. This family owned winery produces a variety of red, white and rosé wines. After a tour of the vineyards we will be invited to a tasting in their wine cellar.
Having seen and experienced Isle d'Orleans and the very early beginnings of rural Quebec, we will slowly make our way back to Old Quebec for a short city tour before returning to the ship.
Approximate Length: Eight hours.
Suggested Attire/Walking Notes: Casual wear with comfortable walking shoes. Moderate walking.
As a Virtuoso Voyages Member, choose this exclusive shore event, onboard credit(s), hotel packages including special amenities or private excursions. Consult your Virtuoso Travel Professional for options available on this particular sailing.

The Tenant Credit Risk Index crept up by two basis points to 16.96 from 16.94 following the sovereign's drop to 'AA+.' The index weights each of the 70 largest CMBS tenant exposures by the historical default rate of each tenant's rating category.

Visiting Our Immediate Care Center
Let's face it – visiting an immediate care center or hospital emergency room is not most people's definition of "fun." Besides the fact that you're ill or injured, such places are often associated with overcrowded waiting areas, rushed service, and general chaos. Thankfully, The Emergency Center offers a better alternative when emergency conditions strike. Our network of freestanding, fully equipped emergency centers provide patient-centric service without the hassles and extended wait times typical of a large, bustling hospital ER. And, unlike the average urgent care center, we provide immediate care 24 hours a day, and all our patients are seen by board-certified physicians.
Here's what you can expect as a patient at The Emergency Center:
– Your physician will quickly evaluate your condition and listen to any concerns you may have. In the event of a life-threatening injury or illness, we will stabilize and closely monitor your health, arranging expedited transport to an operating room if necessary. We will let you know if your condition can be addressed at an urgent care center, but will provide immediate care if you'd prefer to stay.
– Your physician will work to diagnose your condition and formulate an effective treatment plan. Our centers are fully equipped with key diagnostic technologies, including ultrasound machines, onsite labs, and high-resolution 64-slice CT scanners. Once the problem is identified, your health concerns will be treated by your physician and a team of ER- and ICU-trained nurses.
– When it's time to leave, we can give you a med pack with up to 72 hours' worth of any necessary medications, allowing you to head straight home to rest instead of stopping at a pharmacy. You will also be provided with an audio recording of your physician explaining your diagnosis and at-home care instructions.
– Payment will be collected at an appropriate time in the care process, never upfront. The Emergency Center is in-network with most major insurance providers.
– We will send any necessary paperwork and medical records directly to your primary care provider or medical specialist. The Emergency Center utilizes a proprietary instant record system that simplifies the often frustrating process of sending, receiving, and viewing records.
With The Emergency Center, immediate medical care is never difficult to access. So enjoy life – we'll be there for the bumps along the way.

Kylie Jenner's Boyfriend Tyga Spotted Driving With Mystery Blonde
Is there trouble in paradise? On June 11, Kylie Jenner showed her love for Tyga by posing for a photo in his underwear. But on June 12, Tyga was spotted test-driving a red Bugatti with a mystery woman — and Kylie was nowhere in sight. See the pic here!
Brody Jenner has never been a fan of his sister, Kylie Jenner's, relationship with Tyga — see the perverted joke he posted on Instagram — so he may be happy when he sees that the rapper, 25, was driving around with a mystery blonde on June 12. See the suspicious photos here.
Tyga was pictured enjoying a test drive in a bright red Bugatti, which can retail in excess of $1.5 million. The car is sexy, but what we noticed is the cute blonde sitting next to him in the photos. See the pics here. Is she just a friend? Something more? After test driving the vehicle, Tyga and the mystery woman returned to his Range Rover, the Daily Mail claims, while Kylie, 17, kept busy at a photo shoot.
This is interesting because just one day prior, Kylie was taking pictures of herself wearing Tyga's underwear. OK — they're not actually Tyga's underwear, but they are from his Crisp collection. Clearly, she's crazy in love with the rapper. We can't imagine she'd be happy seeing Tyga riding around with another female. But maybe it's just a friend. After all, we recently learned that Tyga and Kylie are "heavy in love."
"They're heavy in love, that's just it," an insider told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. "She tells him everything he wants to hear and he returns the favor. They compliment one another. They support one another and want to see each other grow and succeed in their respective industries."
HollywoodLife.com has reached out to Tyga's rep, regarding the pics.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Should Kylie Jenner be worried? Vote in our poll and tell us how you feel!

Scuba diving is among the top recreational water sports in the world - as reflected in the large number of scuba diving sites and companies organising trips.
Everyone has their own reasons for preferring one location over another, so we've picked 5 of the best places, where we believe the sights and sea life are the most enthralling:
1. Barracuda Point, Sipadan Island, Malaysia
This site has attracted scuba enthusiasts since celebrity diver, Jacques Cousteau, raved about it. Such acclaim has seen it become the most popular location in Malaysia.
Walls of coral surround you, with sharks and barracuda cruising by. You're guaranteed to see lots of large sea creatures in the underwater prairie that is home to turtles, white tips, grouper, bumphead parrotfish and jacks. Although the best conditions are generally from April to December (particularly in July and August), the diving season is all year round.
2. Blue Corner Wall, Palau, Micronesia
If you're looking for an action-packed scuba dive site, Blue Corner Wall shouldn't be missed. Offering a dive range from 25 feet to 90 feet, with a plateau at 45 to 60 feet, you can see up to 13 different species of sharks beyond the reef wall. Barracuda, Napoleon wrasse, eagle rays, jacks and snappers are among the fish you will encounter. The wall has thick coral where mantis shrimps, moray eels and nudibranchs are just a few of the resident species.
Palau is an all-year-round diving hotspot where water temperatures are stable, averaging at around 30°C - in February and March, this may drop to 26°C.
3. Great Blue Hole, Belize
This deep, wide hole is surrounded by coral reef and features several species of shark. There isn't another site like it anywhere in the world! With 30-metre visibility over the warm reef, the sea of vibrant colours descends into a deep blue cool hole, where divers make a transition from salt to fresh water at a depth of around 15 metres. You can descend a further 25 metres to explore the stalactites and stalagmites in the ancient caverns below.
With Belize's warm waters rarely dropping below 26°C, this is an all-year-round diving site but the best time to visit is between April and June, when the whale sharks arrive.
4. Lofoten islands and Narvik, Norway
Diving around the Norwegian coastline is like stepping into a fairy tale kingdom, as you can explore Viking waters and the location of Disney's animated film, Frozen. With pristine fjords, exceptional diving and marine life, the cold water is well worth it. This is the only place in the world that you can dive with the ocean's largest predator, the killer whale.
Around the Lofoten islands, dive with orcas by day - and then at night, witness the amazing northern lights. In Narvik, you can explore the rich kelp forests and experience the thrill of wall dives. All-year-round diving is available, although a dry suit is necessary - especially in winter, when the water temperature is a cool 4°C.
5. Galapagos Islands, Ecuador
These islands captivated Charles Darwin's attention, inspiring his world-famous evolutionary research. It's easy to see why, as this diving location is considered to be the ultimate diving experience by many enthusiasts. Home of a protected marine reserve, the Galapagos archipelago is teeming with wildlife including penguins, turtles, marine iguanas, whale sharks, sea lions, hammerheads, dolphins and rays.
Darwin Island and Cabo Marshall provide an underwater experience that will leave you breathless. There are two seasons, wet and dry, which blend into each other without a strict dividing line. Diving takes place all year round, so go prepared with exposure suits for a varying range of temperatures.
Solent Plastics' 80-ltr heavy-duty box is perfect for storing your diving equipment, wherever you choose to scuba dive. Check out our plastic storage solutions for both leisure and commercial maritime applications.

Stories from China
Long before the ancient European world reached its heyday in science, arts, and medicine, at a time when the Egyptian pharaohs began to build their pyramid-shaped tombs that are still standing today, Chinese scholars and medical practitioners began to write down their knowledge as a reference for future generations. In the writings that they left behind, they highlighted three plants for their unusually beneficial effects - ginseng, reishi mushroom and goji
Ginseng was popular among the highest and richest classes, but this was also reflected in its price. Ling chi, or reishi, dubbed the "mushroom of immortality" was more valuable than ginseng. It was difficult to find and it was not very accessible for people. The most frequently mentioned medical source for everyday use that was readily available was goji, highlighting the strengthening of vital and spiritual energy "Chi".
A medical Guide from the era of the Ming Dynasty, written by one of the most famous Chinese scientists and researchers Li Shizhen (1518-1593), contains a quote from the sage:
Regular use of goji regulates the flow of vital Chi energy, strengthens the body and spirit, and leads to longevity.
The term "wolf berries" (wolfberry) comes from one Chinese legend. This legend tells the story of the devil as an animal which is located at the top of the food chain. In order to maintain their power and position they also ate berries and plants.
Throughout the history of China, there are stories about the miraculous effects of goji. It is said that a woman living during the Tang Dynasty who, due to the consumption of berries, lived for more than three hundred years. In modern times, there is talk of a man who died in 1930 after experiencing a long life of more than two hundred years. Stories from other Chinese provinces tell of a superman, who was able to walk fifty kilometres without fatigue, he possessed extraordinary strength and enjoyed good health.

You can create droppable potted plants by cultivating plants from seeds in the The Garden Gazebo area. Once you have the potted version, you can place it anywhere you like in Dizzywood, including inside your home, but you have to be a member. It will remain in the place you dropped it until you leave the area, except in your home where it will remain until you remove it. There are many different types of potted plants that you can get.
Placing Potted Plants Edit
Potted Plants can be placed almost anywhere in Dizzywood by clicking on them in your backpack. They will appear where you are standing. You can even decorate your home with them.
The potted plants and the seeds for them can be traded (sold back to) the Leaf Sprite in Wildwood Glen.
New Plants To GrowEdit
Along with the new look of Wildwood Glen there are now new plants to grow. You can get the new seeds for the plants from the Leaf Sprite in Wildwood Glen, by playing his Word Race game. You can only get one new seed a day.
NOTE: You can't get any Joysnap seeds or Jangleberry seeds from the Leaf Sprite. Also, the Rumpus plant was available at one point on a quest on which you had to click the pillar so the vines can grow. The quest was only available during the summer (yes…SUMMER) long before Memberships and the mission "Seed Scavenger: Rumpus" started.

Being that little E is adopted, I'm keeping things anonymous for googling purposes.
This shoot posed a couple problem: lighting and activity level of the kids. Being that I took the pictures inside, the lighting wasn't the greatest because it isn't natural lighting. And quite honestly, I don't know how to properly expose the camera for low lighting. I really need to learn! And the kids, as adorable as they are, are active. At 2 1/2 and 2 (E is adopted and J is biological), it's hard to get them to sit still long enough for me to take a slow shuttle picture. And it was difficult to get them to both look at me at the same time.
But, despite the challenges, I'm happy with how they came out. So are Mom and Dad to E&J. And they paid me! Score!
So without any further ado... Little E & Little J...
How do you get kids to sit still? Give them things to play with!
Mommy tickle monster helped with this picture. Can you tell that J is scrunching his body up in "don't tickle me" defense?
Uh oh! Watch out E, she's coming after you next!
Such fascination with the light up ginger bread house.
She is such a doll!
E had a quick outfit change. Only because her mom got her 2 Christmas dresses.
Time for candy canes!
Can-ee. That's how they said 'candy'.
Candy = bone, E = doggy. She woofed and all!
Aren't they adorable!?!

Knowing how to wash your face good is a good idea for anyone's skin but it is an especially important acne treatment for your skin. Washing your face well if you are prone to acne is really important in what is called the T zones and problem areas of the skin where the pores tend to get clogged more. If you properly identify the type of face wash that you should use as well as avoid will be the first step in providing your skin with good care. It is also important to know how to wash your face as well as how often you should.
First, you need to find the right wash for your face. You need to buy cleansers that say they have salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide in them. The average ratio that should be in these cleaners is around two percent. Make sure to check the labels so that you know your cleanser has one of these ingredients in them. You will also need to make sure that you avoid any that seem to have an excess amount of oil in them. This will just clog your pores even more. Also you should try and avoid regular common soaps, these can end up over drying your skin and may cause even more breakouts of acne.
When washing your face you should make it a habit to wash it the very first thing in the morning and also make it the last thing that you do at night before you go to bed. As much as some say you should wash your face even more, it is not a good idea to use any acne clearing cleanser more than two times a day. If you need to wash your face more than twice then it is recommended that you use a generic type of facial cleaner that does not contain any oils.
Make sure that you check the temperature of the water. You need to make sure that the water is not extremely hot because that can be extremely unpleasant for you and your skin. The best is to use a nice warm water because this is gentler and still will open up your pores. Never use cold water. Cold water is simply going to close your pores and this will keep you from being able to do any deep cleaning of the skin and the cleanser will not be able to get into the pores to clean them out.
You can either wash your face with a clean wash cloth or simply use your hands. You need to try and stay away from any kind of abrasive pads and that would include loofahs. These things can irritate the skin and actually cause more breakouts and will leave your skin red and irritated. You can however use one of those exfoliating brushes for your face. But even this should only be used one time a day to get the better results. If you use a wash cloth, make sure you wash it on a regular basis.
Whether you use just your fingers, a brush or a wash cloth you should go in a gentle and circular motion and try to avoid the eyes and the area around the eyes. Do your best not to tug or apply any excess pressure to your face. You should wash your face in this manner for at least one minute making sure that you take your time to wash your entire face. When you are done you need to make sure that you completely rinse your skin and then follow this up with one of those oil free skin toners, then an oil free moisturizer and if you need to add some acne cream for spot treatments of the acne.
Note: If you wear make up, make sure you remove that completely before going to bed at night.

Jette Creative used three of our Crystal glass pendant lights, including our Aurora pendant, above the dining room table inside this Portland, Oregon home. Niche's Pod and Stamen silhouettes are also showcased in this display, as they perfectly complement our Aurora modern pendant light. While they are different shapes, these three pendants all feature our signature glass tuck design and hang together in harmony.

Blending traditional and modern design, this California kitchen by Kriste Michelini Interiors features Aurora pendants in Gray glass hanging from our Linear-3 Canopy. Favorable lighting options when hanging multiple pendants, our Multi-Pendant Modern Chandeliers only require a single electrical junction box, making for easy installation.

Designed by SSDG Interiors, a design firm that strongly believes in environments where productivity and relaxation can intersect, this bright interior allows our pendants to fit in seamlessly, with the subtle green hue of our Smoke glass reflecting the logo of the international financial services group.

and enhance a white diamond, making it appear bigger. Diamond hoop earrings are generally advised for women with an oval face. These types of earrings are highly fashionable and can be procured at reasonable prices.
Cut - This tells us about the shape and proportions of a diamond, The cut of a diamond is essential to its beauty. With the right earrings even a casually dressed woman may appear chic and stylish. Experts recommend appropriate earrings based on the person's age, shape of the face and type of the skin of the consumer.
The categories your diamond could fall into are. With respect to earrings, what complements one person's face and skin tone can appear appalling on another. There are different types of earrings suitable for work, the opera, parties or daily wear.
It tells you whether your diamond has flaws present or if they are absent. It is a fashionable, timeless way to express your love and marriage. Even people who don t play sports will buy sports sunglasses in order to make a fashion statement and stand out from the crowd.
Irradiation and heat treatment - can turn a brown and yellow diamond into a coloured beauty, this colour is usually permanent and more effective then older techniques that were once used. The lower the karat of the ring, the stronger the rose color will be. The additional alloys help keep the rose gold ring in excellent condition to last through your lives together.
The diamond is defined by a grade, starting at (d-e-f) which is colourless going upto (s-t-u-v-w-x-y-z) which is a tinted diamond, usually yellow and is visible to your naked eye. This particular style of ring is often chosen by couples because of its romantic tones and unique color. The lower the karat in a gold ring, the more durable the ring will be.
The colourless diamond or sometimes called the white diamond, is what other stones are compared with. Gold watches are an excellent choice of jewelry that can be handed down from generation to generation, often from fathers to sons, and mothers to daughters. Just be sure you find a piece of heirloom jewelry that will last through the generations and will maintain its integrity of quality through the years, whether it is set aside to be cherished later or worn.
Colour - Contrary to popular belief the diamond is not truly colourless. For example, a grandmother's ruby ring gets passed down to her daughter, who has the ruby incorporated into her sapphire pendant, and then the granddaughter inherits a ruby/sapphire pendant upon her mother's death. Heirloom jewelry is the way to begin a tradition that becomes cherished and more meaningful through the ages.
And we all know how some people use jewel and diamonds to enhance their appearance. You don't want insufficient support or annoying wires cutting into your sides on your wedding day. Regardless of which style you choose, try not to have unrealistic expectations for your bra -- or yourself -- on your wedding day.
Rings - Here is where diamond quality is at a premium. So, while the best advice may be to follow your own taste and sensibility, here's what experts predict will be cutting edge this year for fashion conscious flower lovers everywhere. Traditional pastels will be back, with a decidedly feminine flair, but don't be surprised by occasional accents in bright fashion colors.
These factors contribute to the beauty and value of a diamond. Heirloom jewelry can also be a wonderful way to incorporate family into everyday life. It is no longer just a wedding ring that gets passed on.
The best place to start to find your self a good diamond, would be to explore what is known as the four C's. An heirloom wedding ring can pass along the story of a grandparent's love that survived the ages. It can even be a way to incorporate a memory of a loved one who passed away into a wedding ceremony.
Some say that the price of diamonds and gold will only go up; therefore, they are popular investment methods. An engagement is an amazing event and one worthy of a grand celebration. But you may have missed some small items in your search for the perfect wedding-day look -- those essential unmentionables that go under the dress.
When wearing there synthetic diamond jewelry nobody will know that they are not mined diamonds unless they tell them. A horseshoe has always been a symbol of good luck (as long as the tines are pointed up to hold the luck in) and makes a wonderful engagement gift. These towels make a nice engagement gift for any couple.
When looking for quality diamonds whether they be loose diamonds or even wholesale diamonds, there are a few hard an fast buying rules that you should really know. This is where the ideal piece of jewelry comes into play. Most often, the piece of jewelry handed down through families is a wedding ring.
Platinum 3 Sided Diamond Eternity Band or a glorious 14k White Gold Necklace With Multi Circle Diamond Pendant Center, is what your collection needs. Ladies are increasingly investing in fashion accessories, particularly designer handbags. Heirloom Jewelry can be a very important part of estate planning.
Keep it simple and elegant with diamond stud earrings. Following its first use by the Ancient Egyptians, platinum history shows that Ancient South American Civilizations such as the Incas began to use this metal with gold to make a range of jewelry. Platinum history over recent years It was in the early 1900s according to platinum history when the metal was successfully used to make jewelry by Louis Cartier.
Whether in evening wear or blue jeans diamond stud earrings will add a measure of elegance to any look. Platinum's longevity means that your cherished jewelry, such as a special platinum wedding band, will continue to not only last but also retain its beauty and lustre as the years go on. Platinum wedding bands are also hypoallergenic, which is another valuable benefit of platinum, whereas metals such as white gold often contain traces of nickel which a small percentage of consumers are allergic to.
The point is that no matter what your style diamond stud earrings will perfectly compliment it. Precious metals, such as gold, titanium, and platinum are chosen for wedding bands not only because of their value and beauty, but because they are made to last for generations. Platinum longevity is one of the main benefits of this precious metal, and thanks to platinum longevity by choosing this metal for jewelry, you can look forward to something that is designed to stand the tests of time.
Tip - Diamond tennis bracelets are costly. Indian Maharajas and Queens had always adorned themselves with precious pearl jewelry, and Hindus and Chinese, during ancient times, always considered pearls a sign of love, health and prosperity. Not only are women passionate about wearing pearl jewelry, but the quality of pearls a woman wears defines her persona and her desire to look beautiful and elegant.

One of the new language features in C# 3.0, thanks to the LINQ stuff, is the new syntax for object and collection initializers. Basically, this feature allows you to initialize an object by both creating the object instance (i.e. a new expression) as well as assign values to one or more properties in a single sentence, or to initialize a collection with a set of values to add to it in a single expression similar to how you already do with arrays in C# < 3.0.
Here's an example of using the new syntax:
Person tomas = new Person() { Name="Tomas", Age=28, Hobby="Music" };
Person clone = new Person() { tomas.Hobby, tomas.Name, tomas.Age };
people = new List () { tomas, clone };
The first line initializes a Person object with the default constructor (though you could call a constructor with parameters here), and assigns explicit values to the Name, Age and Hobby properties.
The second line initializes another Person object with the default constructor, and again assigns values to all the properties. However, notice that here we don't especify the name of the properties to initialize explicitly. Instead, the compiler will "guess" which property to initialize by matching the name of the property of the object used in the expression (i.e. tomas.Hobby is matched to the Hobby property).
The third line initializes a collection of type List
This entire feature can be quite handy and I believe it can significantly improve readability of the code when used correctly. Personally, I prefer to use as much as possible the explicit form of it in which you clearly especify which property you're assigning a value to (i.e. Hobby=tomas.Hobby), particularly when using the very similar syntax to initialize anonymous types:
var minime = new { Name=tomas.Name, Age=tomas.Age/2 };
One thing did strike me as curious about the new object initialization syntax in C# 3.0: C# already had a special syntax that did something very similar: The syntax for attributes:
[Attribute(1, Property=value)]
While this was a very restricted syntax, it served much of the same purpose, and it was somewhat curious to me why a different syntax was used instead of reusing the existing one. That said, I think I can guess at some of the reasons this was not done:
- The new object initialization syntax is more inline with the array initialization syntax
- The new sytnax clearly separates what is being initialized as part of the object construction process (i.e. everything in the ()) and what is being initialized with property setters (i.e. everything in the {}).
Number 2 in particular might be important because it is more explicit when you introduce the whole "automatic matching of member being used for intitialization to the name of the member being initialized" feature. If the existing attribute initialization syntax had been reused, this would've been far more confusing as there would be no easy way to spot whether a given initializing expression was actually using one of the available constructors or it was implicitly initializing a given property, which would've significantly reduce the readability of the language in this cases.
That said, I don't care all that much for the automatic property name guessing; I much prefer to be explicit as to what property I'm initializing.
